Space travel has always hit a wall with slow speeds and massive fuel needs. Gravitic propulsion systems offer a game-changing solution by using gravity itself as a driving force. This blog breaks down ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Gravity's impact on bone cells—experiments heading to the International Space Station Mechanical engineers at the University of Michigan are tackling mysteries of bone density loss in space and on ...

The Variable Gravity Machine (VGM) is a SABL insert that supports a wide variety of research in the life, physical, and material sciences aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The VGM allows ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.
